CLEVELAND, Ohio — A Republican National Committeeman from Oregon warned reporters Tuesday that 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney is attempting to foil Donald Trump’s nomination at the GOP convention next week.
Solomon Yue, a member of the RNC’s Standing Rules Committee, made these remarks after the committee adjourned Tuesday afternoon. Different from the Convention Rules Committee, which holds jurisdiction over the 2016 convention rules, the standing committee found itself responding to inquiries relating to whether or not certain delegates can vote in opposition to the results of their state primary on the first ballot of the nomination process.
The Convention Rules Committee is expected to meet on Thursday and Friday. When it gathers, according to North Dakota National Committeeman Curly Haugland, it will start over with the rules of 2012 and their recommended changes. “That’s where we’ll begin the discussion about what we’ll recommend as a convention rules committee to the full convention,” Haugland told The Daily Caller
TheDC learned that at least 28 or one quarter of the convention rules committee might be committed to unbinding all delegates that are bound to their state primary results. If this is the case, minority report can be produced from the rules committee and sent to the floor of the full convention for a floor vote.

Romney had his chance and blew it.
Only in Washington can a “National Movement” be defined as a meeting at a steak house in Washington.
I wouldn’t follow Romney across the street to get free ice cream
The voters want Trump. The GOP needs to side with the voters.
Romney is heading up a movement. Because if they pull shenanigans against Trump that is whats going to happen. A National Bowel Movement.
I shall repeat: REPUBLICAN SENATORS and CONGRESSMEN WILL LOSE if Trump is kicked off the ticket, as Trump voters simply WILL NOT COME OUT if Trump is now denied the nomination.
I don’t know if Romney’s strategy is to give HUGE MAJORITIES OF CONGRESS to the DEMOCRATS - but that will be his result.
So I do hope that ELECTED REPUBLICANS are keeping an eye on him - because THEY WILL LOSE in November if Romney gets his way.
This loser should stay lost! Jeb as well!
If they don’t, they will cease to exist....
Mitt’s career is pretty much through if he attempts any convention shenanigans. Cannot believe this report.
A “national movement” consisting of (maybe) 28 delegates.... run by a (failed) very bad ex-presidential candidate!
Screw that loser. Get out of our party . We are the new republicans. YOU ARE politically FINISHED!!
I’m sorry I ever voted for that sorry sack of sh!t. Never again.
Well, have fun finding voters if Trump gets screwed out of the nomination. Because my ass will stay home and going through my emergency food and ammo inventory.
FUMR
Please tell me this is a hoax and Romney is not that stupid.
If this report is true, Romney needs to BUTT OUT!!
And Senator Mike Lee is a designated attack dog. He’s been way off the rails lately attacking Trump.
When Kennedy tried to tie Romney’s policies to those of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, Romney responded, “Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I’m not trying to take us back to Reagan-Bush.”
